Water Supply Pipeline Cleaning

Water pipes

Lithgow City Council is undertaking a program of watermains cleaning across the local government area. This cleaning of the watermains and pipelines is being undertaken to ensure Council’s water supply lines are maintained and in good condition for delivering potable water to customers.

Council has engaged H&S Maintenance Pty Ltd to undertake the watermains cleaning across the network. The team at H&S Maintenance will be completing this work through to the end of April 2026. During this time the cleaning will cause an interruption to service and you will not be able to use your water connection for approximately eight (8) hours. Works will be undertaken between 7:00am – 5:00pm over the period and with as little disruption as possible.

If you have any requirements for continual water such as maintenance of water for dialysis, please contact Council at your earliest convenience. If you have any further questions, comments or would like to find out more about the project, please contact Council.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t turn my stop tap off.

Don’t use any water to your property and you won’t be affected.

What if I am away?

I have received two notifications

This could happen if you have a corner property and the deliverer of the notice can’t locate which street your meter is in.

My neighbour has a notice and I don’t.

You may be near a person with a notice but the Air Scour project is a long one and will be done over many days. The cutoff point on any day could be your next door neighbour or the next street. You will be notified of your interruption day.

What time is my water back on, will it be back on early.

Go on the time stated on the notification.

It's raining today, is the interruption going ahead?

Yes

My water looks a little milky.

There is nothing wrong with the water it is small air bubbles which create the milky look. It is safe to drink and the water will settle down in time.
